Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Hi I am trying to install but hosted on yahoo running 1.3.9f. I am unable to load the files
.htacess
.keep
from the bmz_cache folder as host gives the following msg
Command: STOR .htaccess
Response: 553-The name you specified is not allowed.
Response: 553-Names must contain only ASCII letters (a-z,A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore, dot and dash.
Response: 553-Names must not start with a dot (.) or dash (-).
Response: 553-For additional info please visit:
Response: 553-See http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/
Response: 553
Is there any way around this?
Thanks Shane
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
This is not an issue with IH2.. This is an issue specific to your webhosts own restrictions.. You'll need to speak directly to your webhost about a workaround..

Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Want to upgrade due to a few issues including:
1-Bandwidth recently skyrocketed as thumbnails seem to be loading large images
2- Some customers reporting disfigured images (which I can't duplicate, think it depends on browser and version)
I looked at install docs but didn't see much on Uninstall.
Do I just copy over files and locations?
And. any SQL install as did not see mentioned in the install doc

Frankly I'm surprised you are running Zen Cart at all if your hosts restricts these type of files. They are included in MULTIPLE paces within the Zen Cart 1.3.9 files. (if you've removed these files, to get around your hosts restrictions, you are opening your site up for other issues..)
We added the same .htaccess file used in the image folders in Zen Cart v1.3.9 to the IH2 bmz_cache folder to add the same kinds of protections to the bmz_cache folders.
The BEST long term solution would be to change your site hosting to a webhost that is better suited for hosting a Zen Cart site. One of my client's had to make such a change for this very same reason..
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Yea not the only thing that annoys me about yahoo - try talking to their support for a start. Will be changing in Jan - cant wait! May I ask what we are open to? We are a COD operation so not too vulnerable there but clients email addresses? I have not yet implemented SSL as worried what yahoo might do to my database.
Did not remove anny files but now that I think about it when I first loaded files there were a couple of htacess files that did not go thro - was REALLY ignorant in those days and as thing worked just ignored it - Oops
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Being a COD operation does not minimize your exposure to site hacks if you are bypassing Zen Cart security measures..
I'd suggest asking this question in a more appropriate part of the forum as the answer and any continuing discussion of this subject is WELL off topic for the IH2 support thread..:smile:

Re: Image Handler 2 Support
The IH2 install and uninstall functions handle adding and removing the proper SQL needed to run IH2.. Follow the install instructions to properly install IH2.

Thats a sign that IH isn't installed correctly
This sky rocketing didn't perchance happen after installing an seo mod like simple seo
If you click to view a larger image on pages like this, it won't work
http://www.cvtreasures.com/special-m...r-photo-p-2127
because the mod is rewriting the popup url
see here
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=389
also i can see no trace of IH on your site and as your page appears to be heavily customised, with loads of font tags (depreceated now days) etc, and there seem to be nesting errors with tables and divs, have you tried validating
Something is seriously borked with the site, as just looking around the site i got this
Quote:
Your connection to this server has been blocked in the firewall.
You need to contact Camelot-Hosting Support with the following IP address.
Your blocked IP address is 60.234.139.228
The only things I did were look at the site, try and run it through the W3c validator and open the site in an alternate browser (Amaya)
